During the han dynasty of the Han Dynasty, with the efforts of the Han army, the border was less invaded by the Xiongnu, and the local people also lived a peaceful and contented life. The war made the Han Dynasty raise its eyebrows, but for the belligerent Xiongnu cavalry, the defeat against the Han army only made them lie dormant, although verbally discussing reconciliation with the Han army, but behind the scenes, they have been looking for opportunities to re-provoke the war. In the process of suspending the relationship between the two families, in order to show their sincerity for peace, the Xiongnu would also send emissaries to the Han Dynasty to seek peace, and in order to show the sincerity of the great powers, Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty also sent emissaries to visit the Xiongnu. However, the Xiongnu did not believe what they said, and detained some of the returning emissaries, and the two countries never fought at war, and the Xiongnu's move was quite unworthy.
After Su Wu and his party arrived at the Xiongnu, Yu Chang and others of the Xiongnu were plotting a coup d'état to kill the Han general Wei Lu and kidnap Shan Yu's mother Fu Shi to surrender to the Han Dynasty. Because Yu Chang had a good relationship with Su Wu's deputy envoy Zhang Sheng, Zhang Sheng was involved in this matter. As a result, before the matter began, the wind was leaked, and Shan Yu killed Yu Chang and the others, and ordered someone to control Su Wu and his party. At this time, the Xiongnu sent the Han Dynasty general Wei Lu to persuade Su Wu to surrender, but he did not expect Su Wu to say: "Serving as an envoy insults the emperor's mission, even if he is alive and has no face to face the emperor again, let alone surrender."
Suvu was then exiled to the inaccessible Lake Baikal. Here, Su Wu could only dig up the wild fruits stored by wild rats to eat. Su Wu learned to weave hunting nets and correct crossbows. The only companions with him were the envoys representing the Han Dynasty and a small flock of sheep. Su Wu took this envoy every day to herd sheep, thinking that one day he would take it back to his country. Day after day, year after year, the decorations on the envoys were stripped away, and Su Wu's hair and beard turned white.
In this group of 100 people who accompanied the envoy, there was a subordinate named Chang Hui, who was also detained by the Xiongnu for nineteen years like Su Wu, probably because he was not a major official and did not participate in Zhang Sheng's actions, so he was not killed by the Xiongnu, but was only punished as a slave, and did not suffer too much torture. In 81 BC, the Han Dynasty sent emissaries to the Xiongnu, after learning the news that Su Wu was still alive, asked the Xiongnu to release Su Wu and others back to China. However, since there was no accurate information about Su Wu at that time, the Xiongnu Shan Yu also pretended that Su Wu was dead, and the first emissaries could only return in vain. Not long after, the second group of Han envoys came to the Xiongnu, at this time, Chang Hui went to meet the Han envoys privately and offered him a plan.
It is pretended that the emperor of the Han Dynasty received Su Wu's Hongyan transmission in order to interrogate the Xiongnu Shan Yu. The Xiongnu were shocked, and really thought that there was such a coincidence in the world, and had to release Su Wu, Chang Hui and others back to the Han Dynasty. Nearly twenty years have passed, has long been a thing is not human, youth has passed away, once the style of the good boy lang has to be white, according to the Life Expectancy of the Han Dynasty, they are even more counted into the old age, you can consider the matter of pension. The imperial court really had this plan, and after a group of people arrived in Chang'an, the determined Su Wu was appointed as a vassal state, responsible for foreign affairs with the vassal state. Chang Hui, Xu Sheng, and Zhao Zhonggen were appointed as Zhonglang. The other six people retired home and gave money of 100,000 yuan, which is a pension.
There was a small country in the Western Regions called Guizi, but it risked the world and killed envoys and lieutenants of the Han Dynasty. When Chang Hui learned of this, he immediately sent someone to warn the Han court, hoping that the imperial court would send troops to punish Guizi. In this regard, Huo Guang, who actually held the ruling power, demanded that Chang Hui could act cheaply. Therefore, Chang Hui gathered hundreds of Tuntian soldiers around him, and then used his prestige to gather soldiers from various countries in the western region and attacked in three ways, encircling the Guizi state. And Guizi thought that his mountains and rivers were far away, and the Han army would definitely not dare to attack, so he was unprepared. In later years, Chang Hui was ordered by Emperor Xuan of Han to quell Wusun's civil unrest. Subsequently, he led three lieutenants stationed in Chigu and divided Wusun into two parts, two large and small Kunmi divided their respective populations and boundaries, the great Kunmi divided more than 60,000 households, and the small Kunmi divided more than 40,000 households. In this way, Wusun was officially transformed from an independent state into a vassal state under the control of the Han Dynasty.
